What is now known as the Bill Miller Shows began near
ly 40 years ago in Pittsburg\, Kansas. That’s where Jim Harbart and Gary H
annes came up with a concept for Sunday morning programming that would beg
in as a local record show called the Wax Works. The foundation for the ear
ly Wax Works shows was a collection of old 78 rpm records donated to radio
station KSEK. Harbart (the station owner) and Hannes (station program dir
ector) found an instant audience for their version of nostalgia radio.

\n

The local and regional success of the show led to syndication of the
show with KJLA in Kansas City the first to air same.

\n

About the sam
e time of Wax Works beginning days boy announcer\, Bill Miller was toiling
away at the “mighty 690” KGGF in Coffeyville\, Kansas an hours drive away
from Pittsburg. Miller heard a WAX WORKS broadcast and called Hannes to c
omment on a song that Hannes played. The long-time friendship began and ex
panded when Miller and Harbart worked together in the Kansas Association o
f Broadcasters trade organization. Fast forward to 1988 when Harbart sold
the Wax Works syndicated program to a broadcast group in Emporia\, Kansas.
At that point in time\, Miller took over the operations portion of Wax Wo
rks with Hannes continuing as the show’s host.

\n

In 1990 Hannes move
d to old Mexico and turned the Wax Works reins over to Miller\, Hannes con
tinued to provide weekly features for the show that he began. The show mov
ed from Emporia to Kansas City (Bill’s hometown) in 1993. In 1995 the show
’s home base became Olathe\, Kansas with a name changes Wax Works was now
Bill Miller’s Collectors Corner. An ownership change and a new name for th
e show followed with The Bill Miller Show emerging as the entity that it h
as today. Some four decades after Jim Harbart and Gary Hannes launched the
ir dream\, Jim has passed on and Gary (living in Guanajuato) still contrib
utes to the show.
